But just as she was about to invite the prince to Huamu Garden for lunch, he snapped, "What are you doing?" He removed her hand from his shoulder with great force and ordered Hu Changsheng to lead the young master, who was trembling in fear in the corner, out.
Xiao Lin then realized that she was too anxious. How could she have forgotten that Song Baimo was still in the room? She acted like this with the prince in front of the eldest young master, so the prince would naturally be angry.
After realizing what was happening, she quickly apologized, but the prince stood up and started asking what she was thinking about all day long. Did she not care about the young master's presence or absence? Did she not put the young master first at all?
This was a serious crime. Xiao Lin knelt down quickly and said that she did not mean it. She was just worried about the prince. He married the princess but still had to worry about her. She was so anxious that she forgot that the eldest young master was still in the room.
On weekdays, everyone in Huamu Garden respected the eldest young master, and he treated the eldest young master as if he were the apple of his eye, always knowing what his responsibilities were.
Song Chengze naturally didn't believe everything Xiao Lin said. He looked at her coldly and said, "It seems you're too busy. I'm afraid the inner court affairs are too numerous and too complicated, making you forget the priorities. In that case, it's better to reduce your workload and discuss it with the princess later."
Xiao Lin was confused. What?
Seeing the prince waving at her to go back, and then yelling at Hu Changsheng to bring Song Baimo in, Xiao Lin had no choice but to put on her clothes and hurried back to Huamu Garden.
Bai Shi happened to come over. Although Bai Shi followed Xiao Lin's lead and never dared to say no in front of Xiao Lin, she was actually quite intelligent. When Xiao Lin couldn't figure out something, she could at least give some advice.
Xiao Lin was also willing to chat with Bai about things in the mansion. The reason was simple: apart from Bai, the others had no daily interactions with Xiao Lin.
After hearing what Xiaolin had said, Bai Shi also became anxious. She didn't dare to say that Xiaolin was wrong for being impatient, so she could only help her analyze the situation. When Xiao Songzi hurried over and said that the prince had asked Zhang Decheng to find a house in the outer courtyard for the eldest young master, Xiaolin's intestines turned green with regret. The two of them decided that since they couldn't catch the child, they would catch the money.
"This is a good idea, Princess. I'll go back and make arrangements right away. How about having Madam Liu go there tomorrow?"
Meng Qi looked at Xiao Lin's attentiveness and smiled, "You've worked so hard, taking care of the young master and managing so many things. It's also my fault. The prince told me not to take charge of the household affairs first, so I gave up and asked for some free time, but now I've left so many things to you, Li, and Nanny Hai. You're so old and have to work so hard, you can't always enjoy the joy of your grandchildren. Let's do it this way for now, little by little. I'll let them learn quickly and take over sooner so that you can relax sooner."
Xiao Lin was shocked. What did Meng mean by this? Could it be that she really wanted to take back all the power of the steward? Then she thought, a palace this large wouldn't be so easy to take over. Besides, it wasn't just her responsibility. She could just agree to it for now and talk about it later when the time came. Just like Bai had just said to her, she must never do such a thing again.
"Yes, I will do my best. No matter when the princess wants to take over, I will make it clear and beautiful."
"Oh, among so many sisters in the mansion, you, Lin, stand out. I thought that since the Yongkang Viscount's Mansion could produce a woman of Sister Lin's character, you, as her half-sister, would naturally not be bad either. It turned out to be true." Meng Qi said with a smile.
The smile Xiao Lin had just forced froze on her face. Was this a compliment? What did he mean by "making her look good"? What did he mean by "bastard sister"? Everyone in the mansion knew that what she hated most was the status of being born out of wedlock. If she had been born legitimate, Gong Shi wouldn't have gotten into this situation back then.
But this Meng said it so openly. Fine, bear it. Who told her to do something wrong today and say something wrong? Wait, don't you want people to learn how to be a housekeeper from her? Then come on, you must learn it "clearly and clearly".
